[Q] Instead 800 numbers - Other Tools & General Discussion

Hey guys
I'm from Portugal.
Is there any app or a way to find the number behind a 800 number?
Most of us are paying to call a 800 number but not if you dial a number starting with 2. This means, for every 800 number you have, for example a 213555666 number.
Hope i was clear enough
Best regards
Pedro

serial number for htc fuze

I have an HTC Fuze that is a prototype that was given to me by my employer, I can't get the upgrade without a serial number and the serial number on mine is a dummy serial. I tried to use it and it won't work. I really need the serial number of an HTC Fuze so I can upgrade. I would use one of the "cooked" versions but if it screws up the phone I am in big trouble at work. Could anyone give me a serial number to use?

You will find some serial numbers and how to update your device with original ROM.
Goodluck
Thanks! Appreciate the help

[Q]Search for available cell phone numbers?

Does anybody know of any website or resource out there that shows you what available cell phone numbers there are for particular providers or areas?
I searched google for a good while but can only find 1-800 vanity search sites, but none for cell phones.
I tried asking my soon to be service provider but they're slow to answer and unlikely to provide a decent answer.
I know there are people out there that were somehow able to select specific phone numbers they wanted for their phones. I have a couple of friends that have their phone number spell things like their nickname. But they're from the U.S
Does anybody know of a way to search for available Canadian numbers?
*edit* No longer interested in an answer. I just got a typical phone number. I won't be watching this thread any more.

Call forwarding?

I'm sorry if this is not in the right section.
I'm in America and I have a Los Angeles phone number. I would like to have an Australian phone number (don't ask why, personal reasons). So that way, when I give out my phone number, I will give out my Australian phone number.
And when they call my Australian number, it will redirect it to my USA one and when I call someone, it will show as my Australian one.
Also when they text me, it will go to my USA one but when I text back to them, it will still show as my Australian number. Any thing that will help me do this? Thanks!
1)diverting an AU number to a USA one will cost you significantly per call you receive.
2)it is unlikely you can divert the SMS messages easily
3)it is unlikely you will be able to give the Australian number as your outbound CLI if actually calling from your USA sim. Also CLI is often lost on international calls at the best of times.
Why not just put an Australian Sim card in you phone.
No diverting, redirecting etc etc.
Just as simple as Australian number on an Australian Sim in your phone.
Roaming fee's will likely be significant and you would need to get a decent plan to keep costs controlled.

You are smart sir. Thanks for that.
Also, what about this?

I can not really tell what that app is trying to do. But if it is attempting to alter you cli it is unlikely to be supported by many respectable carriers at all. Nearly all carriers will ignore the cli your phone requests if it is not the number associated with the account. That is dependant on the carrier but most will not allow you to spoof your number.

Alrighty, thanks. Do you know any text apps that will allow you to create a phone number based in Australia? Paid can be fine.
Never heard of any apps that allow you to purchase an Australian number to send recieve from. Clickatel might via their desktop products, but normally 2way is not done on aus numbers.
I have never really looked though.
What about Google voice?

I thought Google Voice only offers Google Voice Numbers to USA.
You can not get an Australian number (or any other region) with Google Voice.
You can not forward to international numbers via the service either.
While double checking that limitation of Google Voice it did stumble across a service called Truphone that appears to sell Australian numbers.
VOIP calls which could be an issue.
Forwards SMS to local number (SMS fee) or forward to email(free).
EDIT:
Nope.
Unfortunately the store is unavailable in your country. At this time only US and UK users can purchase inbound Truphone numbers.
I wasnt sure.

Hushed (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hushed.release&hl=en) let's you buy disposable numbers. I believe it let's you pick out your number, and can use different country codes, never used the app myself though.

[Q] help with keeping old phone number for free.

I have had the same phone through att for over ten years now. It's the first and only number I've had until now- I got a new number and phone through verizon. I want to keep my new number but also want to keep my old att number too. Is there a way I can keep my old att number for free? Maybe have it setup through a WiFi app or something? it seems realistic to me, so I thought I'd ask the xda community. Big thanks in advance for taking the time to read my question and offering to help. Cheers.

If you want to "store" your old number, buy a pre-paid sim and port the number to it.
